A Day in the Life- Meal Planning

Post by Shannon

Eating five times a day can be difficult, especially when you are busy and on the go.

Something we do to help us eat healthy foods throughout the day is plan our meals each week. We use a a white board that has a calendar on it so we can reuse it each week.

First, we plan out our meals. We like to use a mix of recipes from Beachbody's meal plans (P90X, Insanity, Turbo Fire, etc.), the Biggest Loser cookbooks, the Sparkpeople cookbook and a few others. Once we have our meals and snacks planned, we write a list and go shopping. We usually do this on Saturday so we have it for the whole week.

Sometimes we go to the store during the week, but we try to go once and have everything we need for the week.

This has helped us eat healthy and stay organized. What do you like to do? Feel free to comment!
